Scientific Editing – Microbiology Manuscript Revisions Based on Reviewer Comments (Confidential, Non-Authorship) -- 2

Description:
I am looking for an experienced scientific editor with a strong background in microbiology to help revise a research manuscript following detailed reviewer comments from a peer-reviewed journal.

The goal is to apply the reviewers' suggestions precisely and comprehensively across the manuscript. You will be working with the full article (text, figures, and tables) and an Excel file containing the research data.

Your responsibilities will include:

Carefully applying all reviewer comments throughout the manuscript

Editing and restructuring text, including the Results section, based on existing data

Making necessary adjustments to figures and tables where required

Ensuring that the revised manuscript meets journal standards for clarity, scientific accuracy, and formatting

Preparing a separate response document that lists each reviewer comment and explains how it was addressed (point-by-point format)

What you will receive:

The full manuscript (Word file with figures/tables)

The reviewers’ comments

The dataset (Excel format) used in the study

Requirements:

Experience in editing scientific manuscripts in microbiology or related fields

Strong skills in academic English and scientific writing

Ability to interpret and incorporate reviewer feedback accurately

Ability to update tables/figures and align data presentation accordingly

Familiarity with journal resubmission procedures and response-to-reviewer formats

Important Terms:

You will not be included as an author or acknowledged in the manuscript

You must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before accessing any files

All data and intellectual content remain the full property of the author

You are not permitted to share, reuse, or publish any part of the manuscript or data

Please include a short summary of your relevant experience, availability, and estimated timeline. If you have worked on similar journal resubmissions before, feel free to share examples (without breaching confidentiality).

Thank you!
